Add a datacenter to a cloud account

At any time, you can add a logical datacenter to the cloud infrastructure that is represented by a cloud account.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_cmp.cloud_admin

Procedure

1. In the Cloud Admin Portal, navigate to Manage > Cloud Accounts.
2. Open a cloud account, set the state to Draft, and then click Configure in the form header.
3. Click the Datacenters tab and then select the Service Account that holds the credentials that enable access to the provider account that includes the datacenter to add.

   

   When you select the service account, the list of discovered datacenters for the service account appears.

   Note:

   If the expected datacenters do not appear, click Discover Datacenters to update the list. Discovery runs and displays all datacenters associated with the service account.
4. Select the datacenters to add and then click Save.
   In the example, you select ap-northeast-2.

Result

The datacenters are added to the cloud account and appear on the Datacenters tab. When Discovery runs, the resources in the datacenter appear on the Resources tab.
